哥倫布5月9日新聞――艾默生公司的業務部和倡導關鍵業務全保障的全球領袖企業艾默生網絡能源公司今天宣布與Future Facilities：關鍵業務設備設計和操作方案的提供商合作。作為協議的一部分，艾默生網絡能源公司及其Liebert business可以獲得Future Facilities公司6SigmaDC軟件產品組件，該軟件幫助數據中心管理人員優化設備運作性能，同時加強設計靈活性和適用性。 艾默生網絡能源公司將為其Liebert設計團隊配備6SigmaDC以精確的評估新數據中心和現存數據中心的通風性能，未來設備將數據（這些數據來自艾默生網絡能源公司的Liebert精確冷卻組件）結合到其IT和其他基礎設備的6SigmaDC計算流體動力學（CFD）數學模型中。 “電力和冷卻合理的計劃是面對當今數據中心管理人員的首要問題，”艾默生網絡能源公司Liebert business營銷部副總裁Fred Stack說，“未來工廠在集成CAD, CFD和負荷能力管理的復雜標準方面的成功將補充我們的數據中心環境評估行為。這將幫助客戶理解他們目前的情況，提供一個變動管理工具分析數據中心進展。” 引進6SigmaDC使數據中心設計者和管理人員運用特制的預見的三位模型充分測試設備布局，該模型包括動態環境中的熱分布。虛擬設備虛擬工具能夠科學的考慮確認房間大小，地面空間高度，貨架布局，空調機組的合理位置以及冷卻冗余，從運作的角度看，一個IT庫存管理模塊有助于確保在使用變化時布局保持正確。 Future Facilities 董事Hassan Moezzi說：“為了確保設備長期的發展，數據中心的設計和運轉狀況的整合已經不斷成為全球業務的關鍵部分。運用6SigmaDC創造一個數據中心的簡單而完整的3D效果，艾默生網絡能源公司可以在安裝前模擬設備熱負荷和環境的影響，由此為客戶降低風險和成本。” 展望未來，兩家公司計劃開發附加應用，如資本和運作成本分析工具，以及設備節能，有效冷卻和節省空間。 咨詢更多艾默生網絡能源公司Liebert技術登錄網站：www.liebert.com。 original text： [COLOR=#708090]Emerson Network Power Enhances Data Center Design Capabilities via Collaboration with Future Facilities Columbus, Ohio （May 9, 2007） — Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson （NYSE: EMR） and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity™, today announced its collaboration with Future Facilities, a design and operational solution provider for mission-critical facilities. As part of the agreement, Emerson Network Power and its Liebert business gain access to Future Facilities｀ 6SigmaDC suite of software products that help data center managers optimize facility operational performance while enhancing the resiliency and flexibility of its design. Emerson Network Power will equip its Liebert design team with 6SigmaDC to accurately evaluate the ventilation performance of new and existing data centers. Future Facilities will incorporate data on Liebert precision cooling units from Emerson Network Power into its 6SigmaDC computational fluid dynamics （CFD） mathematical models of IT and other infrastructure equipment. “Proper planning for power and cooling needs is the number one issue facing today｀s data center managers,” said Fred Stack, vice president of marketing, Liebert business, Emerson Network Power. “Future Facilities｀ success in integrating the complex strands of CAD, CFD and load capacity management will complement our data center environmental assessment activities, which are designed to help customers understand their current status and provide them a change management tool for analyzing data center evolution.” 6SigmaDC was introduced to empower data center designers and managers to fully test the effectiveness of facility layouts using tailored and predictive three-dimensional modeling that includes heat distribution within dynamic environments. A Virtual Facility© virtualization tool allows the scientific validation of considerations such as room dimensions, floor void depth, rack layout, the proper location of air handling units, and redundancy in cooling. From an operational perspective, an IT inventory management module helps to ensure that the layout remains accurate as utilization changes. Hassan Moezzi, director of Future Facilities, said “The integration of the design and operational aspects of data centers has become increasingly mission critical as businesses around the globe look to ensure the long-term viability of their facilities. In using 6SigmaDC to create a single and holistic 3D view of the data center, Emerson Network Power can simulate the thermal and environmental impact of equipment loads prior to installation, thereby reducing risk and cost for its customers.” Moving forward, the two organizations plan to develop additional applications such as capital and operational cost analytical tools, as well as energy efficiency metrics for the power, cooling and space dimensions of facilities.
